VC is not your city...

...she's just the town who claims that I am the don!

-----

"Now that we're back from lunch, is there anything you forgot about your first week in Vice?"

"Being a pizza delivery man was very lucrative. I can't believe I could afford a house just working weekends."

"Huh?"

"Great lunch! Anyway, after I started a legitimate base of operations in town, I went to work for Avery Carrington."

"The construction magnate?"

"Yes, ma'am. He had a problem, and I'm a problem solver. He wanted to own that entire island where the fairgrounds once were. He asked me to make the area unstable, which it already was. Not only that, but he wanted to aid in keeping Vice City looking picturesque. Sure, he had me ruin it, but a job's a job, Your Honor. No one got hurt."

"There were nine bodies found in the rubble."

"And they all chose to die by running into my RC Helicopter blades. I was working for the proprietor of Shady Acres, so assisted suicide was on the table. Regardless, once Avery returned from his trip, he restored that area of the city. Eventually..."

"That's nine men you admit to killing. Once Avery left VC, what did you do."

"I went to work for Colonel Cortez. He had discovered one of his subordinates aided in the ambush of my group. A man named Gonzalez needed to be taken care of."

"And how did you do that, Mr. Vercetti."

"I didn't. He drowned in his pool. The cops didn't bother to perform a proper investigation, so I discovered the joys of a Pay 'N' Spray."

"Was the agreement between law enforcement and Donald Love love still in agreement in 1986?"

"It was, so expect me to evade a lot of great police work in the coming years. Cortez then had me get close to my next employer, Ricardo Diaz. A trade of unknown items were ambushed by Haitians, but me and my associate, Lance Vance, protected them. Lance went by Quentin at the time, and his brother was the buyer who got killed in the ambush. Both Cortez and Vance believed Diaz was involved in that, which is why all three of us had our eyes on him. After the success of protecting Dias, Dias invited us over to work with him.

"Diaz was an angry little man with an obsession with pricks and dickheads. The first time I worked for him, he had me trail a member of the Streetwannabes. After that, Quentin and I pretty much eradicated them. If you can find the police reports of the Prawn Massacre, that was us. Doing that made Vice Point safer, and you're welcome."

"The Sharks kept their presence around the mall, so I doubt the truthfulness of that statement. But I'll give it to you only because what you're about to do totally negates that."

"What am I being blamed for?"

"Your name appears in the police record for the first time shortly after this event, correct?"

"First of all, Lucy, you're welcome again. Secondly..."

"You stole a tank from the army base and rampaged through town!"

"Secondly... the army started firing on me, and I needed that for protection."

"And why were you shot at by the United States Armed Forced?"

"Your Honor, I'll be honest. I'm going to say a lot of bullshit in the coming days, but what I'm about to say is one hundred percent the truth. I did nothing wrong. I didn't walk into their base, I didn't take aim at anyone, nor was I belligerent in any way. It was completely unfair and unjustified. All I did was look for a particular package."

"So why did you take the rhyno and destroy half of the police force?"

"Because they ran into me! I was trying to clean up the streets of all the criminals in town."

"The FBI was called in!"

"Then why didn't they get rid of the criminals I was trying to do? Why focus the man trying to make their job easier? Why complicate my work? Why would you run into a tank, assholes? Seriously, that was dumb of them. Fortunately, my career as a pizza delivery driver afforded me the luxury of buying property, so I was able to go home to the Hymen Condos and let all this blow over."

"And then attacked the Washington Beach Police Headquarters?"

"Donald Love!"

"No one knows where he is! Mr...Tommy. You had been in Vice City for three weeks at this point. Do you know how many people you have killed?"

"I broke even, ma'am."

"Even?"

"Between the gangs and criminals that Sergeant Pulaski couldn't..."

"...and the innocents..."

"...I broke even."

"Even plus nine..."

"Even."

"Mr. Vercetti, I'm about to call this a night, but I want you to think deeply about how "even" your numbers are. I'll also do some research to find the official numbers. I'll see everyone back here at nine AM on the dot tomorrow."

I'm missing one hidden package because it's mission locked. I also have 150 health and armor because I did those side missions. I've already done stuff I've never done before!
